Fuller vs. Furler

Why do numerous media sources, including National Public Radio, refer to her as "Sia Fuller?" Is it just widespread bad reporting? Viciouslies 05:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:03, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Article image

I've received notification that the main image on this article is likely to be removed under the {{Replaceable fair use}} rationale, which states that "it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created". Note taht if this image is removed, it will also be removed from the Zero 7 article.

If anyone has (or can source) a suitable free image of Sia, that could replace the one currently used, please upload it and replace the existing image. Alternatively, if anyone wishes to contest the decision to remove this picture, please edit the image page, add the {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} template and provide justification on that page as to why it should be retained as a fair use image.

Lesbian?

Apparently Sia confirmed that she was dating a woman in Attitude, a GLBTQ-magazine from the UK. Here's a link: http://www.newnownext.com/2008/01/sia-has-a-girlf.html. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the article, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.26.131.177 (talk) 06:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not convinced. I can't read the article, but a blog isn't considered a WP:RS. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 20:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

If there is a reliable source, a statement needs to be added to the article and the statement needs to be referenced. Or simply add the link to the reference here and I'll see what I can do. Simply adding the cats back doesn't do any good. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Many many thanks!! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Intervention (TV series)

The song Breath Me has been used by A&E to promote the network's show Intervention (TV series). Worth working into article? In my case, this is how I discovered the existence of this artist; I believe this kind of commercial tie-in is relevant in respect to an artist who may not have had this type of exposure previously.

"I Go To Sleep"

I believe, "I Go To Sleep" is a cover from Ray Davies. If so, it should be mentioned. --Adam Brody (talk) 18:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:SURNAME

I have made several edits to the article so that it conforms to Wiki's policy WP:SURNAME. Many famous people are known by their first names ie Michael Jackson, but that is not a reason to ignore Wiki policy and call the subject by her first name. If she a widely used nickname such as Madonna, Prince or Sting, that would be different.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 17:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Is that even if she has just been using the name Sia since 2001? Wikipedia doesn't as last name to Ke$ha or other current artists using only their first names? Crazychrisr92 (talk) 11:44, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

How is this different to Adele who also releases all of her music under her first name only? The opening paragraph should mention that she is usually know mononymously as 'Sia'. --81.107.149.49 (talk) 15:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

It should stay as Sia Furler I believe. She uses 'Sia' when performing as a featured artist/lead artist, but uses 'Sia Furler' for practically all of her songwriting credits. That's how Sia differs. Also, try not to use non-featured articles in resolving. Technically, Adele should probably be referred to as her surname, Adkins, in her wikipedia article. See Beyoncé Knowles who is referred to as Knowles. ⊾maine12329⊿ talk 04:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Good points, thanks for your intelligent comments and research.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 23:11, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
